The Pure and Simple Paleo Gift Guide

So Christmas is right around the corner. And maybe you are thinking about starting your own whole foods or paleo diet? Or you know someone who is already on this journey? Are you looking for some items for your Christmas List? Or ideas to buy that paleo friend of yours? Or are you looking to get in better shape but need some ideas to get you started? Well you are in luck because this year I decided to put together my own Paleo Holiday Gift Guide to help you out! All of these items are things I already own and love, or have on my own wish list.

CookBooks

I love cookbooks. In fact you could call me a collector. I have a whole cupboard in my kitchen dedicated to my cookbook collection (which my family really appreciates). This list is a compilation of my absolute favourite books, as well as a couple that are on my own Christmas list (hint, hint).

Fitness Gear

Here are a few items that are crucial to my fitness routine. I mentioned a few of these in my recent post titled "How to Stay Fit While Travelling" but I added a few others to this list, including some pretty workout gear from Onzie. Because let's face it, you definitely work out harder when you wear pretty workout clothes. Right?

Kitchen Gadgets

Some of these items may seem silly. Pastry blender? Really? Yes really! I use mine at least once a week. And it is definitely not going to break the bank. Some of the other items on here will cost you more money, but if you are looking for something special to buy that real food foodie in your life, trust me when I say they would love any one of these items. I own most of these tools but a few of them are on my current wish list (like the Vitamix and the dehydrator).

Kitchen Accents and Accessories

Now I have to admit that these items don't really require a paleo diet. But it is no secret that I love pretty things, including my kitchen accessories. And I know I am not alone when it comes to this desire. Most of the females I know love surrounding themselves with pretty objects. The women out there know what I am talking about (and for the males reading - are you paying attention? If not you should be!). Here is a list of items I am currently coveting for my own kitchen and am sure many of you would also appreciate.

For Your Reading Pleasure

There are a number of books that have helped me along the way on my real food journey. This list is only a partial collection but one that would be a great start for anyone looking to explore the impact that nutrition can have on health and healing.

Well there you have it everyone. That is this year's paleo gift guide. I hope you found a few things you might want to add to that list of yours, or even purchase for someone in your life. Christmas will be here sooner than we think so it's time to start collecting those gifts. If you have any questions please let me know. And as always I would love it if you visited me on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram!

So much good stuff here, Erin! I love cookbooks too. I really need to get some of Danielle's. Practical Paleo is still my total fall back cuz it's SO easy. Beyond Bacon looks incredible though too. Oh yum.
